Norgren RT/57312/M/10 Roundline Cylinder - Single Acting, 12 mm Dia, 10 mm Stroke
Part Number: RT/57312/M/10
Quick Summary
Norgren RT/57312/M/10 Roundline cylinder is a compact single-acting pneumatic actuator designed for precise linear motion in automation lines. In tight spaces, a long basic length from a standard ISO/VDMA cylinder can bottleneck cycles and limit tooling capability. This model features a stainless steel barrel and piston rod with buffer cushioning and a standard magnetic piston for versatile control integration—aligning with typical safety and reliability expectations in modern pneumatics. Designed to deliver predictable performance with a small footprint, it lowers maintenance needs and supports scalable automation across manufacturing environments, adding value through space efficiency, sensor compatibility, and robust construction. The combination of rugged materials and compact form factor makes it a practical choice for high-cycle applications in packaging, assembly, and pick-and-place tasks.

Compact geometry with a 12 mm bore and 10 mm stroke enables higher mounting density and shorter cycle times in tight automation cells, unlocking more actuator channels within the same footprint. Pairing space efficiency with robust performance reduces overall fixture length and simplifies line-side routing, delivering measurable gains in throughput and maintenance planning. Single-acting operation with buffer cushioning minimizes impact, reducing wear on seals and mountings while dampening noise during fast extension sequences. This combination lowers maintenance costs and improves cycle-to-cycle repeatability in light-load tasks such as part presentation, clamping, or short-stroke positioning. Magnetic piston provides intrinsic sensing capability for control systems, enabling clean position feedback without extra external switches or wiring. This enhances PLC integration, improves feedback quality, and supports reliable automation in crowded control cabinets where wiring economy matters. Stainless steel barrel and piston rod offer excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical longevity, even in humid or oily environments common to packaging and food-adjacent lines. High-strength end caps and long-life seals harmonize with buffer cushioning to resist wear, extending service intervals and reducing unplanned downtime. Operating range from 2 to 10 bar and temperatures from -10 to 80 °C ensure compatibility with standard factory air supplies and ambient conditions. The M5 port size simplifies plumbing, enables compact manifold layouts, and eases installation in tight enclosures where space is premium. Theoretical force of 48.4 N, combined with the Roundline series' compact form, supports reliable clamping, feeding, and positioning tasks without sacrificing enclosure density. This mix of performance and resilience helps engineers meet demanding cycle requirements while keeping maintenance and spare-part inventories minimal.

FAQs
RT/57312/M/10 offers a compact 12 mm bore and 10 mm stroke in the Roundline family, which is designed to reduce overall footprint compared with typical ISO/VDMA cylinders. Always verify mounting holes and rod ends against your specific fixture pattern and ensure a suitable return stroke clearance for reliable operation.
The unit operates from 2 to 10 bar and accommodates temperatures from -10 to 80 °C, enabling compatibility with standard factory air supplies and common industrial environments.
A magnetic piston provides inherent position sensing capability, enabling easier integration with PLCs and sensing modules without extra external switches, which improves feedback accuracy and reduces wiring complexity.
The M5 port size supports compact, low-profile air connections. Plan for short, rigid tubing to minimize dead volume and ensure quick response times, especially in tight installations or micro-manifold assemblies.
Buffer cushioning reduces impact and wear on seals and end caps, extending service intervals. Stainless steel barrel and piston rod resist corrosion, contributing to longer life and more predictable performance under varied industrial conditions.
